March 2026 · 7 min read
Most believers tend to be stronger in one Testament than the other. New Testament readers know the Gospels and Paul's letters well but struggle with the Minor Prophets. Old Testament students know the Law and the Kings but sometimes rush past the epistles.
The truth is, you need both. The New is in the Old concealed; the Old is in the New revealed. This challenge gives you 10 questions from each Testament. Keep score honestly and see where you need to grow.
